The LayerOne Demo Party is back again for another year of awesome demos! Demos are a combination of programming challenge, artwork, and music. You’re given specific hardware with any number of restrictions – code size, available memory, processor speed. Your goal is to output audio and video that pushes the limits of what is considered possible with such limited hardware.
Enter your Demo or ANSI art now! Submit by emailing datagram@layerone.org with [DEMO 2025] in your email title! Please include your .hex file for Demo Boards and you .ans file for ANSI!

Are you lonely?
Need someone to talk to?
Do discussions about volts, amps, watts, ohms, and high voltage excite you?
Are you a social outcast without a hope of ever finding companionship?
If you answered yes to all of these questions, you are probably already a ham. If you answered no to any of them, you probably aren’t a ham….but we can fix that!
Come ruin your social life the right way by taking the amateur radio exams at LayerOne! If you’re looking to upgrade (read: become even more uncool and/or lose your significant other) we can handle that for any amateur radio license class, too!
Sign up at THIS LINK! Testing takes place on Saturday, May 24, 2025 at 18:00 Pacific time in the Lockpicking Village. If you have any questions, head over to our #ham-radio channel on Discord!
